Acrobat Reader DC: Open with right pane closed?

Is there a preference so that Acrobat Reader DC will open a PDF with the right pane closed (for desktop, either Windows or OSX)?

It is very much annoying that this side pane shows up every time I open a document. It is also the reason I am currently thinking of switching to another PDF reader, so I would like to see how Adobe is coming to their senses and give us an option to disable it.

  • Can Acrobat DC be set to open with Tools palette closed by default?

    I'd like to set Acrobat DC to open with the Tools palette closed. Is this possible? I checked the preferences but didn't see an option for this.

    I'd also like to have the tools palette stay closed by default. Perhaps Adobe can add this in the next update. It's a minor annoyance to have to close it every time I use the app.
    I've submitted a feature request.

  • How did my pdf files get converted from 'open with Adobe Reader' to open with Adobe Acobat'?  And if I have a ''free'' Acrobat account why does it not open?  When I do click on the account it ask me to pay $89.99.  I never wanted Acrobat.  How can I get -

    It sounds as if you downloaded Adobe Acrobat Pro. If you did, uninstall it. Then repair Adobe Reader.
    The free Acrobat account has no connection to any of this.

  • Acrobat Reader XI opens then closes...

    Acrobat Reader XI opens for a few seconds then closes.  I also have Acrobat 8 Professional on my computer, Windows 8.

    Some things you can try...
    Using Windows Explorer navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader, then double-click on Eula.exe and accept the license agreement
    Can you open Adobe Reader by itself?  If so, try disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].
    If you cannot open Reader by itself, try to disable Protected Mode in the registry; download, unzip, then run the attached registry script
    It could even be a malware issue; see http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/reader-core-dll-error.html

  • Acrobat reader hangs opening pdf created with autocad

    Hi all,
    when I try to open a pdf file created with autocad, Acrobat Reader hangs and I can't do anything else then kill the process. Now I use Acrobat Reader 9.5.5. I've insatlled also Acrobat Reader XI, but the problem persists. It seems it is very slow to process the file. If file has few graphics after some minutes I can see it and zoom in, but if file is has a lot of graphics, acrobat hangs. Any suggestions?

    Hi Robert,
    I am so sorry for the inconvenience caused & will try my best to get this issue resolved.
    I will recommend you to upgrade your Adobe reader to Adobe Acrobat Reader DC on your Samsung Note 3 mobile phone and then try to view the pdf files. You can download it for free from the Google app. store or you can refer to this link Acrobat Reader DC Learn & Support.
    Let me know if you still experience the same issue.
    Regards,
    Aadesh

  • Acrobat Reader DC - Bug with Dialog Boxes Containing Images?

    Hi all -
    Been testing Reader DC.  Only took a couple of minutes to adjust to the new interface; pretty slick and intuitive.
    Noticed a potential issue that I wanted to warn/share/prob solve with the community.
    I was putting Reader DC through it's paces with a XFA PDF that has some dialog boxes, some of which even had images in them.  (Thanks again to BR001.)
    The dialog boxes with images look great on Acrobat & Reader 9/10/11 (WIN & MAC) - images are clear; no pixelation.
    Reader DC on MAC appears to be fine - resolution looks the same.
    But Reader DC on WIN - the images are now pixelated. Especially around the edges, characters/numbers, etc.  You can tell something is "off" with the image.
    A few simple side-by-side tests can be seen at links below.  Reader DC is on left; Acrobat 9 (9.5.5) is on right.

    Anyone having their dialog boxes with images open in Reader DC for Windows WITHOUT the pixelation?

  • Acrobat Reader X integration with SharePoint 2010

    I recently upgraded from Acrobat Pro 9.x to Acrobat Reader X (10.1.2) to test out the new SharePoint integration features. Per the Enterprise Admin Guide, I added the line to my DocIcon.xml file to handle the ".pdf" extension, added the PDF icon to my server, verified that the WebDAV module wasn't present in IIS, and then restarted my SharePoint server.
    When I click on a PDF document from a SharePoint document library, however, I receive an error message that reads, "There was an error opening this document. The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect."
    Some things I have already tried to remedy the problem:
    I have full rights to the SharePoint Server and the document library in question.
    I verified that the WebClient Windows service is running locally on my machine.
    Clicking on "Edit Document" from the document library's item context menu produces the same error message.
    What am I missing?
    Thanks,
    Jeff

  • Preview and Acrobat Reader not opening pdf documents

    I downloaded and installed Adobe Acrobat Reader on my new iMac and since then old, new and every other pdf document won't open with a message stating it was damaged etc. Previous good pdf won't open and I fear it is down to installing Acrobat reader. Any ideas?
    Just want to see pdf documents

    Back up all data before making any changes. Please take each of the following steps until the problem is resolved.
    Step 1
    If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, and the problem is just that you can't print or save PDF's displayed in Safari, you may be able to do so by moving the cursor to the the bottom edge of the page, somewhere near the middle. A black toolbar should appear under the cursor. Click the printer or disk icon.
    Step 2
    There should be a setting in its preferences of the Adobe application such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected.
    Step 3
    If you get a message such as ""Adobe Reader blocked for this website," then from the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
    and check the box marked
              Allow Plug-ins
    Then click
              Manage Website Settings...
    and make any required changes to the security settings for the Adobe PDF plugin.
    Step 4
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens by pressing command-V, then press return.
    From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari.
    Step 5
    The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others—I don't have a complete list. Don't remove Silverlight if you use the "Netflix" video-streaming service.
    Step 6
    Do as in Step 4 with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari.

  • Problem installing Acrobat Reader on Mac with Mavericks (with error)

    I tried ALL the ways to install Acrobat Reader on my Macbook with Mavericks, nothing worked!
    It says "Error 301" or something like that and I already tried to download the enterprise version, the offline version, to change the login settings of my macbook. Nothing works...
    All started when, at a certain point, I don't know why, it stopped working opening pdf files, saying "error, the file could be damaged or you need an updated version of Adobe Acrobat Reader", so I uninstalled the app and tried to install again. It was when I realized that the mission was harder than  I thought!
    Please, if anybody with the same problem solved it yet, please please share it with me!
    Thank you!

    I'm sorry, part of it is in portuguese!
    How can I post here the install.log file?
    Thank you so much!
    PS: Apparently the error now is different, with no number ..

  • How do I get Acrobat Reader to work with Firefox again? I'ver tried everything that I can find in the Help area.

    A while back now I lost use of Acrobat Reader's loading feature while in Firefox. I have tried all of the suggestions that I can find in the Help Menu, on blogs, etcetera, and nothing has worked to re-enable it. The Acrobat Reader seems to work fine from all other browsers, and from the Start Menu. I just can't get it to work with Mozilla.

    I solved this problem by looking at the plug-ins I had in 5.0 and found that I had two versions of Adobe - a V8 and a V10 enabled. I disabled the V8 and it all works fine now.

  • I use program PDF Converter Professional.When downloading from the net I want to use Adobe Acrobat Reader to open downloaded pdf forms. Adobe Acrobat is my default program but Firefox keeps using PDF Converter. How do I change this?

    Acrobat Reader is the default program for all variants of pdf files, both in Windows 7 and in Firefox.

    So you have a trial version of Acrobat (that is not activated) installed?  If so, uninstall it.
    Do you also have Adobe Reader installed?  If so, you need to open it once and accept the EULA.

  • Acrobat/Reader cannot cope with internal Webserver connectivity problems, leading to comments being hidden/deleted. Any thoughts?

    Adobe Acrobat/Reader do not cope with interruptions to access to the internal WebServer hosting the PDF/XML review files.
    Steps to reproduce the issue:
    Connection is lost to the WebServer hosting the PDF review files.
    After connection to the WebServer is regained, access to the PDF review files is blocked by Adobe Acrobat/Reader.
    Sometimes this can be resolved by deleting the entire contents of the folder:
              C:\Users\<user-name>\AppData\LocalLow\Adobe\Acrobat\11.0\Synchronizer
    NOTES:
    We have experienced this behaviour especially when connecting to the WebServer via VPN. I reckon the connectivity issues could be initially our problem, that Acrobat/Reader simply do not handle.
    Clearing the contents of the Synchronizer folder does not always work.
    Team members have also seen situations where significant numbers of review comments or status values have been not been displayed, but exist in the XML review files. In some cases comments/status values have been automatically deleted without warning from the Adobe review XML files.
    PDF reviews are sent out via email as links to the PDF review file hosted on an internal WebServer.
    Writers and reviewers in the team either have either:
    Acrobat XI Pro 11.0.08 with Reader 11.0.08
    Acrobat XI Pro 9.5.5 with Reader 11.0.08
    I have personally experienced the above behaviour with Acrobat XI Pro 11.0.08 and Reader 11.0.08.
    Could this experience be connected the Synchronizer (http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/known-issues-acrobat-xi-reader.html )?
    For example, where a reviewer uses a different version of Acrobat/Reader?
    Could anyone please provide a list of compatible versions of Acrobat/Reader?
    Expected results:
    Adobe Acrobat/Reader should really handle connection issues with a warning and later check for recovered connections.
    However, what appears to be happening is that Acrobat/Reader writes some sort of blocking code to the Synchronizer folder that prevents future checks of the PDF review files on the review WebServer.
    As far as I understand, the connection issues are not caused by Adobe software, however the problems we are experiencing relate to how Adobe Acrobat/Reader handle this loss of connection.
    Plea for Help!
    I have checked and the experience of missing comments and persistent "connectivity issues" seems to be a reported but sadly outstanding issue...
    This has been an ongoing headache for some time, so solutions would be great, but any thoughts or suggestions are welcome...?
         For example, has anyone using SharePoint to host PDF reviews experienced anything similar?
    Many thanks!

    Adobe Acrobat 11.0.09 with Microsoft SharePoint Repository Trial Update
    We've completed week one of a three week trial (see above) that will go on until Friday 24th October.
    We currently have just four PDF files out for review that make use of the SharePoint repository.
    To-date:
    Each review file has had multiple concurrent reviewers posting comments over several days from both over the office LAN and also via VPN when working remotely.
    Dynamic stamps seem to be working as hoped and are all visible.
    We have not experienced any connection-type issues and the we have not had reason to clear out the Synchronizer folder as described above.
    Counter balance:
    I have experienced the situation with a remote VPN connection, where Adobe Acrobat could not connect to our internal WebServer repository. At the same time, I was able to connect to PDF review files hosted in SharePoint.
    Summary:
    The experience so far does suggest that problems are caused by the an inconsistent connection to the WebServer repository (especially over VPN) combined with Adobe Acrobat/Reader's inability to cope with the resulting situation.
    At the moment I must say that while it is early days, I am hopeful that the combination of SharePoint as the repository and the update to Adobe Acrobat/Reader 11.0.09 will continue to prove to be reliable.
    I'll provide an update to this post on Friday 24th October...
    Here's hoping!

  • Force Adobe Reader to Open With Form

    Hello,
    Is there any way that you can implement a version check in the form so that non-adobe PDF readers are rejected?
    For example, A client opened up a form in Apples Preview, was able to fill it all in but when it came to "submit via email" the button did nothing. I tested this myself and came to the same conclusion, but i used the Adobe PDF viewer for mac and everything worked fine.
    Any help would be Appreciated.

    You can use the app.viewerType command that will return to you a string to indicate which viewer is looking at your file. Not sure what will happen in another Viewer but the doc says:
    Reader will be returned for Acrobat Reader version 5 or greater
    Exchange will be returned for Adobe Acrobat earlier than version 6.0
    Exchange-Pro for Acrobat Pro version 6 or later
    Hope that helps
    Paul
